General options for PDFs
Click the General category in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box to set the following options:
Displays the description from the selected preset, and provides a place for you to edit the description. You can paste a description
from the Clipboard.
Exports all pages in the current document or book.
Specifies the range of pages to export in the current document. You can type a range by using a hyphen, and separate multiple pages or
ranges by using commas. This option is unavailable when you’re exporting books or creating presets.
Exports pages together as if they were printed on the same sheet.
Do not select Spreads for commercial printing; if you do, the service provider cannot impose the pages.
Embeds a thumbnail preview for each page in the PDF, increasing the file size. Deselect this setting when users of
Acrobat 5.0 and later will view and print the PDF; these versions generate thumbnails dynamically each time you click the Pages panel of a PDF.
Reduces PDF file size, and optimizes the PDF file for faster viewing in a web browser by restructuring the file for
page-at-a-time downloading (byte serving). This option compresses text and line art, regardless of the settings you have selected in the
Compression category of the Export Adobe PDF dialog box.
During export, automatically tags elements in the story based on a subset of the Acrobat tags that InDesign supports. This
includes recognition of paragraphs, basic text formatting, lists, and tables. (You can also insert and adjust tags in the document before exporting to
PDF. See Adding structure to PDFs.)
If Compatibility is set to Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later, tags are compressed for smaller file size. If the PDF is then opened in Acrobat 4.0 or
Acrobat 5.0, the tags will not be visible because those versions of Acrobat cannot decompress tags.
Opens the newly-created PDF file in the default PDF viewing application.
Saves each InDesign layer as an Acrobat layer within the PDF. Also exports any printer’s marks you’ve included to a
separate marks and bleeds layer. The layers are fully navigable, which allows users of Acrobat 6.0 and later to generate multiple versions of the
file from a single PDF. For example, if a document will be published in multiple languages, you can place the text for each language in a different
layer. A prepress service provider can then show and hide the layers to generate different versions of the document.
If you select the Create Acrobat Layers option when you export a book to PDF, identically named layers are merged by default.
Create Acrobat Layers is available only when Compatibility is set to Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5) or later.
Determines whether visible layers and nonprinting layers are included in the PDF. You can use the Layer Options settings to
determine whether each layer is hidden or set as nonprinting. When exporting to PDF, choose whether you want to export All Layers (including
hidden and nonprinting layers), Visible Layers (including nonprinting layers), or Visible & Printable Layers.
Creates bookmarks for table of contents entries, preserving the TOC levels. Bookmarks are created from the information specified in
the Bookmarks panel.
Creates PDF hyperlink annotations for InDesign hyperlinks, table of contents entries, and index entries.
Exports margin guides, ruler guides, column guides, and baseline grids currently visible in the document. Grids and
guides export in the same color used in the document.
Exports objects to which you have applied the Nonprinting option in the Attributes panel.
